Five misunderstandings about light steel villas

Myth 1: Light steel villas are expensive

Analysis: Light steel villas are not necessarily expensive. Although they have beautiful appearance and rich and diverse shapes, the cost is not much different from that of traditional houses. The cost of light steel villas varies depending on factors such as region, design, and materials, but in general, ordinary farmers can afford to build them on their own homesteads. In addition, the construction period of light steel villas is short, which can save some construction costs, including workers' labor costs.

Myth 2: Light steel villas are only suitable for low-rise construction

Analysis: The number of floors of light steel villas is not limited. Although most common light steel villas are 2-story villas, in fact, light steel villas can be built up to 6 floors, and the safety performance is not compromised. The bearing capacity of light steel villas has been accurately calculated and supported and combined with auxiliary parts, and has a reasonable bearing capacity that can meet the needs of buildings with different floors. In addition, light steel villas are also suitable for a variety of building types, such as residential houses, residential buildings, hospitals, schools, etc.

Myth 3: Light steel villas are not much different from traditional houses

Analysis: There are significant differences between light steel villas and traditional houses in terms of material selection, construction methods, and performance. Light steel villas mainly use energy-saving and environmentally friendly materials, such as aluminum-zinc-coated light steel, European pine boards, waterproof breathing paper, and heat-insulating environmentally friendly materials. Its construction method adopts factory production and on-site assembly, which greatly improves construction efficiency. In terms of performance, light steel villas have the advantages of earthquake resistance, waterproofness, fire resistance, heat preservation, and sound insulation, and the overall space utilization rate is high and the artistic appreciation is strong.

Myth 4: Light steel villas are mobile model houses

Analysis: There is a fundamental difference between light steel villas and mobile model houses. Although both are built by first producing in the factory and then transporting to the site for assembly, light steel villas have independent load-bearing structures, excellent heat insulation, sound insulation, fire resistance, and long service life, suitable for long-term use. The mobile model house pays more attention to temporary and flexibility, and its service life is relatively short. In addition, the main structure design service life of the light steel villa can reach 100 years or even longer, which is much higher than the mobile model house.

Myth 5: Light steel villas can only be used as earthquake-resistant resettlement housing

Analysis: Light steel villas do have superior earthquake resistance and can be promoted to earthquake-prone areas as resettlement housing. But this does not mean that light steel villas can only be used as earthquake-resistant resettlement housing. Light steel villas have good safety performance and can be used as temporary or long-term residential housing. Its application field is very wide. It can not only be used as residential houses or residential buildings, but also as hospitals, schools, government agencies and other multi-purpose buildings.
